Hog roast hire in Stocks Green
Hog roast hire for your event in Stocks Green
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include corporate events and big birthdays and anniversaries, with spit-roast lamb, crackling and new potatoes.
Somewhere as small as Stocks Green, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Looking after everyone

- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
